The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is providing funding to study wildlife resources in the Great Basin. This grant aims to establish a historical baseline for assessing change by examining museum databases and re-surveying small mammals in the hydrologic Great Basin. The focus is on jumping mice as indicators of ecosystem health in arid regions. Data will be analyzed for species richness, diversity indices, and genetic variation using genomic loci. Researchers are encouraged to propose research projects that contribute to understanding wildlife dynamics and biodiversity in the Great Basin. Closing date for applications is on August 8, 2014.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is offering a funding opportunity to attempt to understand wildlife resources in the Great Basin by examining and establishing a historical baseline against which to assess change. To that end, the Center is interested in searching museum and other databases to research and complement historical records from across the hydrographic Great Basin. In arid regions like the Great Basin, jumping mice are closely associated with riparian and moist meadows thereby providing tractable systems for simultaneously asking many applied questions. To gather appropriate data, the Center would be interested in re-surveying small mammals in the vicinity of all historical records of jumping mice across the hydrologic Great Basin. Once this data has been collected, anticipate analyzing the data for such things as species richness, diversity indices and total abundance of small mammals. Additionally, propose to characterize and assess genetic variation using a suite of genomic loci in an attempt to identify variation ranging from individual to regional-scale geographic differentiation. |
